Training and Quals

There was a recent discussion on the Litsupport group prompted by a few questions regarding Litigation Support training. how can a lit support person be qualified in that arena? There are no standards, just a collection of ideas and products. Well, i think my answer is that a training course just won’t do, although it will provide a lot of insight into a particular area or challenges faced, most Lit support people are self taught and are IT generalists (just like myself).

I think with help of groups like LiST in the UK and Sedona Conference in the US, things will begin to become standardised. Also, blogs like this one may develop into something of a bible (steady on Martin, it’s not that good yet…!) for Litsupport and Forensic Computing individuals. Let’s hope it helps cut out the chaff too!
